Beachfront vacation rentals in Maple Bay

Great hosts and an amazing cabin! Definitely will be back again :)

Thank you for having us! The cabin was spacious yet cozy and a great place to spend time with friends. Larry was very kind, welcoming, and helpful. This is definitely a spot we are planning to visit again in the future!

The weather had just turned from fall to winter. The space was a little cool when I arrived. And to be fair, I arrived early, thanks to Shannon’s flexibility. Shannon went above and beyond to ensure we were cozy that evening. Why am I sharing this experience? Because Shannon’s response was amazing. Not only did she add an additional heat source, she welcomed my friend and I into her home to enjoy a glass of wine and her warm fire whilst the final warming occurred. And, we were cozy and comfortable the entire time. Shannon is a warm and generous soul. Further, Sam the Cat, allowed me to give him scritches on his head and shoulders. And, Shannon allowed my friend to harvest a wee bit of her beautiful Holly. Finally, the guest information book is great and provided helpful dining and hiking advice. Frankly, I am surprised, and thankful, the time was available when we booked given the hospitality. Thank you Shannon and Sam!

This was exactly what I was looking for in my vacation. It was a restful, private location in the middle of the woods, so I had some peaceful time in the wilds to get some writing done, but was still close enough to town to visit friends and do touristy things. It was easy to find, easily accessible, and a beautiful getaway. The hosts were amazing- proactively offering tips for RV living and were super responsive to any questions I had. I'd highly recommend this if you're looking for somewhere private, with beautiful misty mornings and ocean views.

We had a fantastic stay - right on the ocean with beautiful sunrise and sunset views. The jacuzzi overlooking the water was enjoyed by all. The kitchen is spectacular with everything you could need and the living area is very nice. The full wall of glass windows and sliders with the wrap-around deck was great. The heated floors were an unexpected, but welcome surprise!

Staying at the Cove was amazing. The view and surroundings were beautiful and peaceful, the cabin was cozy and comfortable, and Sarah was a wonderful Host. She offered us early check in and late check out and gave some great recommendations for places to visit. She was helpful and responsive and we were so grateful to be able to stay at her cabin. It was just the rejuvenating retreat we needed. We hope to return!

Burt was super responsive and welcoming to us. Clean and quiet place just outside of town and right on a lake. Nice hot tub too!

We rented both properties for a family get together and had a lovely time. We rented the adjoining 2bd Salty Suite for the ones who had babies so the rest of us could sleep in the mornings! The main house was great for sharing dinners and spending time together. We were able to locate extra chairs in the basement which we needed for our large family and the table extended perfectly. Between the two suites there were four high chairs so we didn’t need to bring our own. We especially appreciated the extra large fridge/freezer in the main house. We brought all our food with us as Sooke is 30km away and not convenient for restocking, so the fridge space was amazing! The property is really private and the kids enjoyed kicking a ball around on the expansive lawn area. We also enjoyed the trail down to the beach - great for watching sunrises and sunsets! We appreciated the large DVD collection and the cupboard full of board games - all of which we made full use of during our stay.

What a gem of a property to stay at. The property is so well laid out and amenities are so close and convenient. The people at the resort were friendly and fun. The decor was so appealing and fit the vibe of the place so we'll. We enjoyed every second there. Thank you Cam & Carla!!

We loved our time at this condo and will definitely be back! The views and pool are amazing. It’s quiet, bright and well equipped and furnished.

This was one of the best stays in our lives. The place, the views, the feelings was something out of ordinary. We loved the place from the very first moment we found it on the Internet and loved it even more when we arrived there. I would definitely recommend this place and would really like to go back there as soon as we plan another vacation.

We had a lovely time staying in Tammy’s home. It was really clean and very well stocked with everything we needed. She is very responsive and we were able to check in a bit early on our arrival. The bed is very comfortable and there is a lovely view of the water from the patio. We would definitely stay here again! The resort has a tennis court, lots of grills, one campfire pit, dock for crabbing or boats, beach for clamming. The property is very well kept. Thanks again Tammy for such a lovely stay!

Pat's place is awesome. We, a family of four - two adults and two kids (one is at teen age and another one is younger), spent a great long weekend there. Bright, cozy condo with great view from almost any window. It fits all of us, has a nice kitchen with everything you need for your stay. Heated pool with a hot tub, which we and kids enjoyed, just downstairs. The Bay is very good for paddle boarding. We did twice over our stay. If tide is low, you can reach a tiny island where you can find lots of purple and orange sea stars, crabs, and oysters. Ladysmith and Nanaimo suggest great dinner options. Nanaimo also has a nice walkable Marina merging into Maffeo Sutton park. If you like hikes, we tried Extension Ridge Trail hike near Nanaimo and can strongly recommend it to anyone. Malahat Tower is a fun place to visit, just one hour of driving from "Inn of the Sea" resort, we've been there, and were not disappointed. Will definitely stay again at Pat's place.

The place was really comfortable and cozy just like in the pictures. Jason and Andrea are amazing hosts.

We had a great time spending the winter holiday here! The view is beautiful and the space was perfect. The kitchen was fully stocked to be able to cook all our own food. Sitting in the hot tub and looking out at the view on a chilly winter day was exactly the relaxing vibe we were going for, and we got it! The hosts were very responsive and helped get us set up perfectly for our stay.

The unit was exactly as shown in the pictures. It was extremely comfortable for three people with a well-appointed kitchen, large dining area, private patio and a lovely view of the water. We enjoyed using the Inn of the Sea's pool, hot tub, and communal barbecues, and watching the sun come up with our coffees down on the dock. Thank you, Genevieve, for sharing your beautiful place with us - we'll be back!

We had a wonderful stay! Had everything we were looking for -- waterfront location and set up well for children. The location and windows looking out onto the bay, islands, Straight of Georgia and across to Mt. Baker were what we loved most. Saw a lot of wildlife. Steps down to the water were nice too. House was otherwise set up well and as described. Highly recommend this location.

What a beautiful home in a lovely, private setting. The ocean is literally in your backyard. Our stay was as peaceful and quiet as we had hoped. Robert and Sarada are friendly hosts who accommodated our last minute trip with flexibility and helpful information. We would love to visit again~

This Airbnb was perfect! Just as the listing described, the oceanfront house had amazing views and all the amenities required. We would love to stay at Andrea’s place next time we visit the island!

I've hardly ever written a review for a rental, but I'm writing one for this house because it was really wonderful. We received nice, clear instructions on how to find the house plenty ahead of time. The house was perfectly clean, and all the furniture and kitchen items were in very good condition. The porch is very large and has a wonderful view, and one is right on the water on a perfect little pebble beach. We also liked the more general location very much; in particular the house is about 1.5 miles from the English Camp Park, which was very nice for a run.

Wonderful place for a big group to stay. 4 rooms with queen beds, each room has its own bathroom, and there’s even a common bathroom in the common area. Very clean and nice place.

We had a fantastic stay. It was really a comfortable space with a lot of amenities. There was tons of room to spread out and it felt like home.

We have stayed here multiple times and always love it. Beautiful views, lots of space, and great hosts. We were there during a terrible storm, which knocked power out on the whole island. Erika and Rob were super helpful and responsive and helped us get the generator going so we had all the essential power we needed. Highly recommend.

It is a very well appointed house and felt cozy without being cluttered. It was special to but right out over the water, watching the seals cruise by and hearing the waves lapping.
